Generally stated, this invention relates to scenery-termin peper forChristmas tree garden decorations euch es miniature mounnin, tunnel endlike scenery end hee more eepeciel relation to rendering the seme hilily {im-resisting in character.'

This loud colored peperwe decorate with dabs of while aint to represent snow the dabs of rod anyellow peint to represent mineral deposits. While still wet the paint isbrushed out in veri ated Were-'libe fashion to produce Vveiuike andother irregular effects. The peper so treated is allowed to dry und isthen resented to and paesed through e. bath or so ution of potessiumpermangnnete and sodium silicate. Such solution is of an edhesivenature. We now sprinkle materiel known iis green iiioss end ground micaupon the treated adhesive surface of the peper in an irregulnr manner.Tho peper so trented is now permitted to dry, the potessium permengeneteassisting in the rapid drying of the treated surface. The paper is nowpossessed of lire resisting characteristics end experience demonstratesthat even when ub'ectsd to o high heat it will merely glow endisintegrate instand of bursting into n Home. Our prepared peper isquite pliable which ie importent since it must stand considerablecrumpling or like lmanipule- If the e er when treeted is posseseed ofetid, rittle characteristics it connot be satisfactorily employed forthe purposo designed. 'Die repered peper is now rei-rolled for wholeee edistribution and is retailed hy the yerd.

It will now be apparent that we have devised a novel and usefulconstruction which embodies the features of advantage enumerated .asdesirable in the statement of the invention and the above descriptionand While We have inthe pres-ent instance shown and described thepreferred kembodiment thereof which has been found in ractice to 'vesatisfecho and reliable resu ts, it is to e understood t at the same issusceptible of modification in various particulars vwithout departingfrom the spirit or 'scope ofthe invention or sacrificing any of itsadvana m. avng thus described our invention, what we claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s:
